Question

The Population of cities A and B are 2.6 cross times 10 to the power of 5 and 1560,000respectively. The population of city C is twice the population of city B. The population of city C is how many times the population of city A ?

hintHint:

Write the population of cities  as the same powers of base 10 and then
compare.

The correct answer is: 20


    Complete step by step solution:
    Population of city A = 2.6 cross times 10 to the power of 5
    Population of city B = 1560000 = 15.6 cross times 10 to the power of 5
    Population of city C = 2cross times1560000 = 2 cross times 15.6 cross times 10 to the power of 5
    On dividing population of city C by population of city A, we have fraction numerator 2 cross times 15.6 cross times 10 to the power of 5 over denominator 2.6 cross times 10 to the power of 5 end fraction
    On cancelling  on numerator and denominator, we have
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 2 cross times 15.6 over denominator 2.6 end fraction equals 12
    Hence the population of city C is 12 times the population of city A.
